When I first started going to Portland, people told me about Stumptown. They were like 'Oh, it's the best coffee,'and I thought, 'How good could it really be?' I'm like, 'Sure, great, uh... I'd love to see it.' But then when I went, it truly, I am not kidding, is the best coffee I have ever had.

There is a lot of lip service paid in this Congress and downtown at the White House about family values and small business. Who better represents family values and small business than the fishermen and women on the Oregon and California coast.

I have a big family and had to move them all from the coast of Oregon to New York three times for the workshops and for the actual production itself, which had about a four month development rehearsal schedule.

We're just so close. Look at the games we lost - we were right there. We should have closed out the LSU game, we had SC neutralized, and Oregon we just got outplayed, and we played flat. We shouldn't have lost all three of them - that's the thing that stands out. There's such a very fine line between being 6-0 and 3-3.

We're hoping they will recommend civil unions becoming legal and established in the state of Oregon and discrimination becoming illegal.

We know how tough it is in Oregon and we know both of them are very good teams. We don't expect a cakewalk at all. Neither one will be easy.

Oregon is outflanking California as the most left wing state in the union.

We want him to know we'll give our life for him. We watched the game film of the UC Davis and Oregon games and saw the number of hits he received.

I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon.

There are plenty of opportunities in January, February, and beyond to enjoy Oregon Dungeness crab. The Super Bowl and Valentine's Day are just two opportunities. Oregon Dungeness tastes just as good from January on as it does in December.

There are no excuses for a performance like that. I think they just thought it was going to get done and somebody else was going to do it. Unfortunately, the person who did it was the entire Cal team. Nobody from Oregon stepped up today.

We're adding a coach to our staff who has won three national championships. He brings a championship work ethic and a championship legacy with him to Oregon State.

We have proven we can go out and play well on the road. Oregon didn't play great, but we had something to do with that. It's not like the teams in our league are a lot better than Oregon. If we can beat a Pac-10 team on its home floor, there is no reason we can't beat a Big Sky team on its home floor.

We have people who come from all over the state and have something going on in the area. Over the time we've been (at Oregon Trader), we've built up kind of a following both with musicians who play and regulars. A lot of these songs are our standard stuff. When we start doing those, people start to sing, and it's fun.

There are a lot of games yet to be played. It's going to be a great year. The thing that's good about the Pac-10 is anyone can beat anybody on any given night. And Oregon is playing solid basketball.

The reality in Oregon is that we are addicted.

Many of this country's great pioneers arrived in the state via the Oregon Trail, fueled by hope and optimism. John Kerry's trail to Oregon has been driven by pessimism and half-truths.

Mike runs good routes, and he's always making the big play, ... He pulled down a few high balls I threw last week, and made it look like nothing. I've played with some good receivers at UCLA, but Mike is in a class all by himself. He's a real classy, quiet Oregon guy. He just takes care of business.

No one is more disappointed with the outcome of this season than Ernie. He genuinely hurts for his players, coaches and the fans. I do feel, however, that he continues to possess the energy and passion that are necessary to regain the unprecedented success that Oregon has enjoyed during his tenure as head coach.

NRDC has helped bring hope spots to more of our shared ocean waters. We helped draft and pass a California law creating a network of underwater parks stretching from the Oregon border to the Mexican border.

On one hand, you can count the number of mills in Oregon that mill a big log.

I would put this team on a level with those Oregon City teams (of the 1990s) that were ranked No. 1 nationally. They have tremendous talent and they?re very well-coached.

I did 'Othello' at the Oregon Shakes - I was at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for two and a half years. That's where my training is.

I am delighted that coach Erickson will be the head football coach at the University of Idaho. Our student-athletes deserve the opportunity to develop and play under the tutelage of a proven, seasoned and successful head coach.

If only we'd supported Oregon and Arizona and other states who wanted to move their primaries up, so that we didn't have five weeks to wait after a strong showing in New Hampshire.

I don't think anything in Oregon will be comparable.

I expect to see Oregon play as hard as they would against USC, ... They have a little something on their shoulder because they lost their home opener last year.

Give Oregon credit, they were prepared to win and they did. But we're inconsistent late into January and that cannot happen.

Greg is a move-in from Oregon who can pitch and play third base. Plus, he's a left-handed hitter.

He has wonderful experience, just outstanding experience. He also has some Oregon experience.

He got a piece of junk in the mountains, with a very good core and kept it going. Now it's an art piece. He's a major contributor to Oregon because of that.

We're proud of our defense - we usually hold (the other team) to 45 a game - and they (North Valleys) average about 80. It's gonna be a battle. We haven't been successful with high-scoring teams. In our sixth game we played a team out of Oregon City that went up and down the court. We didn't match up well with them. Same with a Logan, Utah team, which beat us convincingly.

We're optimistic, and we're excited. It was a very good start and we're just looking forward to two weeks of training, and we thought Oregon State represented well.

We've been working a lot on our free-position shooting. We need to convert those chances. From what I've seen, Oregon is a pretty aggressive team, so we will get our opportunities. That can make the difference for us.

He was basically in the same situation I was in. He didn't get recruited too much, but he walked on to Oregon State and he's turned everything around.

I thought our players handled it pretty well. they practiced hard and practiced fast. We got better. We were able to come back last night and get a game preparation practice in for Oregon State and that went really well. You like the preparation time, but you also like getting into a game week rhythm. It is hard to keep practicing against each other all the time.

I think we're starting to peak at the right time. The kids brought a lot of intensity tonight. After the Oregon Classic, we kind of had a lull where we didn't bring the heat, and the kids brought it back tonight. They all stepped up and wrestled hard.

I think we traveled and played more nationally ranked opponents than anyone in Oregon has ever done.

I think it's the only way they are going to get better. And in their defense, Georgia and Oregon State are good teams.

I thank the Oregon Science Teachers Association for its participation in National Chemistry Week. These teachers are molding the next generation of scientists.

I think we wrestled pretty well overall as a team. We?re starting to round into form. It?s a good time, with (Southern Oregon Conference) districts coming up next week.

Jason needs to reaffirm his commitment to the Oregon State basketball program.

Our guys have to stay in the moment, and it's not easy. I was worried about our team when we were up 21-2 against Oregon State.

Regarding fame, fortune and Oregon I do wish I had more money.

Oregon was really the only high-major that stayed with him through thick and thin. I think it's a good choice for him. They will use all of his skills, and he won't be asked to do more than he is capable of.

Oregon State played well. We played poorly. I felt we were capable of more.

Oregon State has a great tradition. You've got the backing of the administration, which is key. You've also got good Oregon high school wrestling, there's a good base there.

Oregon State doesn't seem to worry about too much what style they're playing against, ... They have their defensive package they're going to run and they have their offensive package they're going to run. They don't change up a whole lot.

Oregon's fishing industry is a critical part of our state's economy, and it will benefit in many ways from this Federal support approved today, ... The dollars included in this bill will also go toward improving Oregon's tsunami readiness, while also giving a boost to our state's cutting-edge oceanic research for the benefit of Oregon and the nation as a whole.

Oregon offers some of the most accessible, high quality lodgings in the West, each with its own distinct service and attention to detail. It's gratifying to receive this recognition, especially when it's from travelers themselves.

Oregon is near impossible to beat at home, under any circumstances. Even if you come with your best team, that's a tough thing to do. But based on Washington's finish indoors, they have a great team, and if they show up with all of their people, they're going to be tough.

Oregon has tailored its 529 program to meet the varied needs of our residents by providing a diverse mix of investment options and channels to buy these plans. College Savings Month is an important avenue for us to educate Oregon residents about the benefits associated with 529s, especially how these plans allow education savings to accumulate tax-free and be withdrawn free from federal and Oregon income taxes when used for college tuition.

Oregon has stood by ready to help at any time our fellow citizens affected by this terrible tragedy,

Oregon has EVERYTHING- except a decent speed limit.

Oregon has a lot of in-migration, which helps to keep the unemployment rate (higher).

Oregon has a lot more depth. It's been our trend to save our best game for last on the road.

Oregon does a lot of traveling, so they make a big deal about coming back east and they also have a number of eastern teams come out and play them. They actually had Hopkins come out and play them in Hawaii and all the girls were like, 'We wanna go to Hawaii.' But they definitely still get a lot of good opponents out there, so it's very similar.

Oregon and Washington State are the most physical, hardest-fought games every year. You always have to pick it up a notch when you go play at Oregon.

Our lot prices last year were about $50,000 to $60,000 under comparable lots in Canby and Oregon City, which makes our prices look very, very attractive compared to those places. ... Lot prices (this year in Big Meadow) are probably going to go up around $15,000 over what they were last year, which means our minimum prices are going to go up.

I think she'll do a fantastic job for us. She has kept moving up in the coaching ranks. The way she turned things around at Eastern Oregon excited me. We had several strong candidates, but her experience and the fact that she knows the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and has been involved in recruiting excited me.

I think right now it's exciting because we didn't have a good year last year. I want to make sure this Oregon State defense is back. Last year we didn't show that as well as we should have.

I think reality has set in. We knew we had to play well in order to foster those hopes. We played OK against Oregon State, and we just got dominated by Oregon. It hurt to play like that. That's what happens when you are not a good team. Our hopes were higher, but what has happened was not unexpected.

I tell ya what, I feel bad for Oregon State next week.

It has only been in the last 10 years that this fault's significance has been understood. For the most part, Oregonians believe that Oregon doesn't have the kind of earthquake history that California or even Washington has.

I thought it was important for Emily to throw tonight. She had a rough outing against Oregon State and we wanted to give her back a little bit of confidence. She threw hard and I thought her ball moved well. She was in control during the game.

We need a good weekend, so if they're going to be desperate, we're probably in the same category. We had a good weekend this weekend, but Oregon State is kind of down. This weekend will be a whole lot different.

We investigated this one in Oregon for several months. We have investigated several others, and have some ongoing investigations right now. So we have been active in terms of looking at those.

We really appreciate all of the support we have received from the Oregon State administration as well as our fans. It's nice to have an opportunity to continue our season in March and we look forward to getting back on the court.

Which, as many times as they threw it (49), is impressive. They've got to be feeling good about their offensive line. Houston looked like they were unable or unprepared to handle all the things Oregon threw at them. The 38 points could've been a lot more.
